It tells you so much about the people behind the Arizona fraudit that this didn't *immediately* sound like a bad idea to them and something that would *immediately* draw attention from federal law enforcement due to the crossing of state lines with sensitive election data https://t.co/SYbUKDSSZT

CNN got some aerial footage of the "lab" (maybe a log cabin) where some Maricopa County election data was transported recently, as @JenAFifield first reported a couple weeks ago (https://t.co/4Lkd6ZYNsh) pic.twitter.com/pz9e7FH4jw

Election data from the politicized "audit" of Maricopa County, Arizona's 2020 election results has made its way across multiple state lines to a secure "lab" — or maybe a cabin — in Montana.
The purported lab location, CNN reported Wednesday night, is the residence of the founder of an audit subcontractor who lives off of a Montana highway.
The Arizona Republic first reported the story two weeks ago: Ben Cotton, the founder of the audit's tech contractor CyFIR, made copies of Maricopa County's election server and other data and drove them to what one audit spokesperson described as a "secure lab" in Montana. The spokesperson, Ken Bennett, told the Republic he didn't have any details on how Cotton was keeping that data secure.
Secretary of State Katie Hobbs' (D) office had earlier noted the Montana twist on its website: "Observation: On May 24, 2021, Senate Liaison Ken Bennett confirmed that copies of voting system data was sent to a lab in Montana. He did not specify what security measures were in place, or what the lab in Montana will do with the data or how long it will be in possession of the copies." . . .
Cotton, in addition to being the founder of CyFIR, is also CEO of its precursor company CyTech. CyTech's website, which lists Cotton as CEO, also lists a Montana address off of Montana Highway 83 in Bigfork, not far from Flathead Lake. Records indicate Cotton is the property owner, the Republic and CNN reported.
It's not clear what data traveled to Montana. Neither the audit, CyTech nor CyFIR responded to TPM's requests for comment.
The secure Arizona voter data is being ‘analyzed’ in a cabin in Montana. This is absolute chaos. pic.twitter.com/8QfZRqCNeF

Woah! I thought this was too crazy to be true even for the GQP - but of course it's true. This is near Bigfork - an area I know well & love. This is not a "secure powerful lab" - it's a personal home & barn in the woods in Montana. This is nuts!https://t.co/r6JvCuHUE7

Because only the cabin in Montana has the sophisticated technology required to perform an accurate Arizona election recount?

Am I the only one who thinks Trump is the one who came up with the term “secure powerful lab”?

That Arizona ballots for the 2020 Presidential election are somehow in a cabin in Montana is several bananas 🍌 🍌 🍌 short of a banana republic. 🤔#ArizonaRecount

Since Arizona is recounting in Montana, is it ok if I recount the Kentucky senate race at my house? 🤔
